CNC Setup Specialist

SIS, an EIS company | Canton, GA

Hourly Pay: $25-35

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 50 scheduled work hours per week.

• First shift: 5:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
• Second shift: 3:00 p.m.–1:30 a.m., with a $1.50/hour shift differential

Both first- and second-shift positions are available. Second shift is our current hiring priority.

Additional overtime: Weekend overtime is currently available on Saturdays and Sundays for employees interested in additional hours. Availability varies based on production needs.

SIS is looking for a CNC Setup Specialist who can independently set up machines, verify part quality, and keep production running reliably.

This hands-on machining role combines machine setups, regular production runs, and troubleshooting . You’ll prepare equipment for assigned jobs, verify that setups produce parts to specification, and operate machines throughout production. You’ll stay hands-on with production while contributing your setup and troubleshooting skills.

You’ll work with operators, Operations Specialists, Engineering, and Quality to resolve issues and maintain safe, consistent machining processes.

Founded in 1989, SIS is part of EIS Fabrication Solutions. We manufacture precision components from high-performance plastics, composites, and other non-metallic materials for industries including power generation, aerospace and defense, medical equipment, and oil and gas.

Our work ranges from prototypes to production runs, with components used in electrical insulation, power generation equipment, medical imaging systems, and other demanding applications.

• Independently set up and operate CNC equipment, including tooling, fixtures, workholding, and offsets.
• Safely prove out approved programs, inspect initial parts, and obtain required approval before continuing production.
• Complete production runs, monitor part quality and tool condition, and troubleshoot routine setup and machining issues.
• Make authorized program and cutting-parameter adjustments, and create simple programs at the machine where required by the assigned work area.
• Help operators understand job requirements, maintain setup documentation, and escalate complex issues to the Production Lead, Operations Specialist, Engineering, Quality, or Maintenance.

• CNC machining experience that includes independently completing setups, verifying initial parts, and running production jobs.
• Strong setup and operating skills in at least one machine family, such as mills, lathes, or routers.
• The ability to interpret blueprints, applicable GD&T, CNC programs, and setup documentation.
• Working knowledge of tooling, workholding, offsets, cutting parameters, precision measurement, and safe program prove-out.
• Clear communication, sound troubleshooting judgment, and willingness to perform both setups and standard production runs.

Our equipment includes Haas and Smart mills and lathes, along with KOMO, Heian, and Homag routers. Relevant equipment experience is helpful. Experience machining plastics or composites is a plus; candidates with comparable CNC experience in other materials are encouraged to apply.

Take ownership of setups, contribute directly to production, and continue developing your technical capabilities. You’ll work alongside experienced technical resources and help operators build confidence and consistency on the floor, with opportunities to develop toward more advanced troubleshooting and mentoring responsibilities.

This position has no direct supervisory responsibilities.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) match: 100% on your first 3% contributed, plus 50% on the next 3%.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• Company-paid basic life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, plus short- and long-term disability coverage.
• HSA/FSA options, including company HSA contributions for eligible medical plans.
• Employee Assistance Program, PerkSpot discounts, and optional supplemental and pet insurance.

Benefits are subject to eligibility and applicable plan terms.
